I'll bite, how does the risk increase by performing the same thing with the same people in a nicer are, that is within your local area by car?
It's that cynic again

I went two places in my car locally yesterday, had to go see my physio as my back was playing up, saves a trip to overwhelm the Nhs if it proper goes one day
Went by car
On way back did a click and collect at Dunelm for a mattress topper to help my back as we having to sleep in old master room until twins are old enough for wife to let us back in the loft room
You tell them via your phone your there and they bring your item to your car leave it outside the door and they go
Only contact with someone was with the physio who had gloves , apron and we both wore masks
I'm sure someone will tell me how I could have done it better

Some people claimed it was safer to fly to a place with lower cases than their local area for a holiday to get away
Nothing like risking infecting that area
Long as they have a nice bit of sun

One reason golf clubs are deemed risky is that too many of us gathering in the same location at or around the same time, in car parks, clubhouse, first tee. Local to us the car parks of popular places for walking are jammed full, with everyone trying and largely failing to keep properly distanced, and where there is a cafe that is like flies to the honeypot.
Though see the Aesop fable The Flies and the Honeypot ‘oh foolish creatures that we are, for the sake of a little pleasure we have destroyed ourselves’

I would love a hard full lockdown, with only those needed medically allowed to work. There's far to many "essential workers". For the record, I'm now self employed after being made redundant last year and called an essential worker. I will get nothing if I can't work, but this virus has to be tackled hard and fast. There's too many excuses allowing people to carrying on also as normal.

You are correct there are too many essienal workers and it's employers taking the Mick that are causing the most issues
Friend of mines company supplies parts to gas and water board so yes the warehouse and delivery team are "essienal" however the admin team are not and can work from home (they did in lockdown one) yet have been refused

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Who said the risk increases?
The message at the moment is dont go out.
Its that simple.
Its not dont get in your car, call for a coffee and go for a walk.

That’s your call. I need to work. I’m not sure what I do is essential and I can in the main work from home, but I do need to visit sites once a week.

Sorry can you not read?
Exercising
You should minimise time spent outside your home, but you can leave your home to exercise. This should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area.
You can exercise in a public outdoor place:
by yourself
with the people you live with
with your support bubble (if you are legally permitted to form one)
in a childcare bubble where providing childcare
or, when on your own, with 1 person from another household
From the govs Own page
It's a valid reason to leave the house

Sorry Tash, you drove your wife for a covid test when you were positive, what if some drunk or drug driver had hit your car when you were out?
Risk is everywhere and hindsight is a wonderful thing!

I need to work. But better a short proper lockdown and no money coming in than long winded carrying on as we are with many being killed by it.

Exactly it's all about reducing risk.
These ladies may have driven to reduce risk
Driving alone less risk than walking past people maybe
I click and collect all shopping I can to reduce risk
I could try for delivery even less risk but that could go to someone less able to leave home maybe with no car
That's entirely irrelevant but still made me spray my tea ?. I'm as pasty as you can get right now, not a good look, but anyone that orange at the moment is kidding themselves if they think people believe that look is better.

Rules are fine but they need to be clear and concise.
If you should not drive for exercise then say so. If you can and distance is an issue then say how far is acceptable. If walking with a drink is against the rules then make it clear that when exercising food and drink is not to be purchased on route.
In my opinion it's not acceptable to allow the police to have personal discretion to decide whether someone's behaviour is illegal or not. This leads to inconsistencies and opens the Police to criticism.
I suspect the reason these things have not been clarified is a popularity issue.

Good interview with an ex police chief yesterday or Friday.
He said that one of the problems with the law as written is that 'local area' is not clearly defined legally and is therefore open to individual interpretation.
I know here I live if I wanted to walk on open common land or countryside park I would have to go outside of my village despite it being a rural because, in the main, we are surrounded by farms.
The term village is seriously open to personal interpretation. Do they mean a parish. Where I live the parish is made up of a series of 5 named areas which one would call neither a village or a hamlet.
What do the mean by Local Authority my Local Authority is South Somerset does that mean I am entitled to travel any where in the South Somerset Area
